GN oilfield decanter centrifuges can be used in different applications for handling drilling mud for solids control and drilling waste management.

How to set up bowl speed for decanter centrifuge for drilling mud?

Take GNLW363 serires decanter cantrifuge for examsple, operator can set up the decanter centrifuge speed as following, it can used for following application:

• Barite Recovery: Operator can run the centrifuge with G foce at range from 700-1000 G, and run the 14 inch decanter centrifuge at speed around 2000 RPM.
• High Gravity Solids(HGS) Separation:Operator can run the centrifuge with G foce at range from 1000-2000 G, and run the 14 inch decanter centrifuge at speed around 2500 RPM.
• Low Gravity Solids(LGS) Separation:Operator can run the decanter centrifuge with G foce at range from 1800-2300 G, and run the 14 inch decanter centrifuge at speed around 3000 RPM.

How to asjust the speed for decanter centrifuge?

The method to set up bowl speed for decanter centrifuge normally have three ways, one is to USE the VFD control system to adjust the frequency for the motors to control the speed for the decanter centrifuge, second is to use Hydraulic driven system to adjust the bowl speed and differential speed.Third, to change the centrifuge speed is to use different sizes of pulley and belt to change the speed.

GN offers decanter centrifuge for all above types to allow users to use the decanter centrifuges for different applications.

Decanter Centrifuge Feeding Pump speed and capacity.

To feed the GN 14 inch GNLW363 Decanter centrifuge, normaly we recommend to use GNG30-7.5 screw pump.The GNG30-7.5 screw pump is a positive displacement single screw pump, the capacity of the pump depends on the speed or the motor, the motor transfer the speed thru gearbox to the pump.  For example, the ration of the Screw pump is 6/1 so if the pump motor run at 60HZ, that means the motor run at 1750RPM and the pump will run at 291RPM. And if the decanter centrifuge feeding pump run at 291 RPM with capacity at 30m³/h. And if adjust the VFD to run at 30HZ, the pump speed will be half capacity, around 15m³/h.

Solids Control Unit for Civil and Underground Industry

• Drilling mud Solids Control systems – This industry involves horizontal directional drilling rigs and Micro tunneling rigs which require it to be equipped with drilling solids control systems. So we can sell the mud solids control system package to the drilling rig manufacturer, and underground drilling contractors as well as the mud service companies who do service for the drilling contractor.

  

For this industry, we have two major advantages, first, we can do customized design with competitive pricing as required by customer. We also service the untapped civil and underground industry  with solids control equipment whereas our competitors in America may focus only on the oil gas industry, or only have prefabricated models for the customer, who will only  customized design at very high extra costs.

Mining industry Solids Control unit

• Solids Control system –  During the exploration of the mines by drilling, the drilling contractor will need to use a mud recycling system to clean the drilling fluids and reuse the drilling fluids. Especially for diamond drilling customer, they need compact mud systems to clean drilling fluid and to separate very fine solids.

• Small compact solids control equipment – Many companies have ignored this industry, so they did not design small compact equipment like mini shakers, mini solids control decanter centrifuge to fit this industry.

Even if our competitors have the mini solids control equipment, as they are very big companies who are not willing to make the complete customized package for the customer, like we do. GN Solids Control have already done many project for this industry in Australia, Asia and Canada which has a huge demand for such mining exploration solids control equipment for diamond drilling.

As the pioneer in this industry, GN Solids is capable of providing customers with series products ,such as oil & gas drilling fluid solids control equipment, drilling decanter centrifuge, drilling waste management equipment and drilling security equipment.

Application of drilling mud vacuum degasser

To recomve invading gas from drilling mud, it is necessary to install a vacuum degasser. So that the invading gases may not impact mud properties. This invading gases can lead to risks and affect the lifespan of solids control equipment.

Vacuum degasser is a special-purpose oil drilling mud solids control equipment and a new type one for the drilling fluids system. Drilling mud vacuum degasser can get rid of various gases invading drilling quickly. Drilling mud vacuum degasser is very important for keeping mud gravity, stabilizing mud viscosity and reducing drilling cost. At the same time, drilling mud vacuum degasser can be used as a heavy-power mud agitator and supported applicable to all types of drilling mud purification system. The drilling mud vacuum degasser design of the structure is scientific and rational. So we are able to achieve an effective gas-liquid separation, filter out impurities and to ensure that the exhaust pipe is always smooth.

GN Solids is professional manufacturer for complete sets of drilling mud separation and recycling equipment. The conventional equipment like shale shaker, mud cleaner, desander, desilter, vacuum degasser, decanter centrifuge, mud agitator, mud gun, centrifugal pump, screw pump, etc. Here, let’s learn more about desander and desilter.

1. The general installation type and function of desander and desilter

Desander and desilter are solids control equipment with a set of hydrocyclones that separate sand and silt from the drilling mud used on drilling rigs.

They can be installed separately: Desander is installed on top of the mud tank following shale shaker and vacuum degasser, but before the desilter. Desilter is installed on top of the mud tank following Desander. They also can be installed completely: in this case, they are installed on one deck shaker and called mud cleaner or mud conditioner.

Desander removes the abrasive solids from drilling mud which cannot be removed by shale shakers. Normally the solids diameter for desander to be separated would be 45~74μm, and 15~44μm for desilter
